On behalf of the North Central Florida Homeless Continuum of Care (Keys to Home CoC), the Task Force Fore Ending Homelessness is hosting three upcoming town hall meetings to discuss homelessness in the region.
Feedback gathered from the meetings will assist with improvements to and direction for the CoC’s strategy and action plan covering Alachua, Bradford, Gilchrist, Levy and Putnam counties.
The meeting dates are:
- Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, from 9 to 10 a.m. at 103 N. State Road 19, Palatka
- Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Alachua County Community Support Services auditorium (218 SE 24th St., Gainesville)
- Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Freedom Community Center (7340 NW 41st Lane, Gainesville)
In October, the Alachua County Commission voted to have staff help facilitate joint meetings with the other four counties covered by the CoC and for the county to help facilitate an engagement workshop with affordable housing providers not already engaged with the COC, emergency service providers and others impacted or facing challenges.
The Taskforce Fore Ending Homeless is a nonprofit organization and lead agency for Keys to Home CoC, a coalition of homeless service providers that includes Alachua County.
Community members are encouraged to attend one of the scheduled meetings.
Members of the public who desire to share feedback but are unable to attend can send an email to info@keystohome.org.
